As odd education is becoming mainstream, the field is witnessing an increase demand of institutions which offer cross-disciplinary courses with contemporary curriculum. There are very few educational institutions in India that offer futuristic odd-ball courses for the students.
Shankar’s Academy of Art equipped with one of the largest portfolio of art and design courses is offering many cutting-edge programmes including art, book illustration and computer graphics for which it awards diplomas.
These professional future-oriented odd-ball courses aim to produce skillful professionals who will shape up seamlessly with the work environment and readily meet the requirements of the fast-growing global design economy. These courses offer unique platforms that not only aim at academics but also look to spread awareness of newer, emerging career streams and even lead to job creation.
“We aim at providing experiential learning through a mix of in-studio learning, field-work and theory. The odd-ball courses are in fact well-researched well-thought out courses that have been designed keeping the future requirements in mind. These courses will prepare the students in various streams other than the traditional ones thus making them future ready,” said director, Children’s Book Trust and Shankar’s Academy of Art.
